Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions
carefully. Use the tester and test leads only as
specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection
provided by the tester can be impaired.
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, personal
injury or death, follow these guidelines:
• Donotuseiftesterappearsdamaged.
Visually inspect the tester to ensure case
and is not cracked.
• Inspectandreplacetestleadsifinsulation
is damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are
cracked. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Alwaysensurethetester,testleadsandall
accessories meet or exceed the measurement
category required in the working environment.
(i.e.CATrating)
• Notethatthemeasurementcategoryand
voltage rating of combinations of the tester,
the test leads, and the accessories is the lowest
of the individual components.
• Donotusetesterifitoperatesabnormallyas
protection maybe impaired.
• Donotuseduringelectricalstormsorinwet
weather.
• Donotusearoundexplosivegas,dust,vapor,
amperage or in damp or wet environments.
• Donotapplymorethantheratedvoltageto
the tester.
• Removethetestleadsfromtheinputjacks
before measuring current.
• Removethetestleadsfromthemeterpriorto
removing battery cover. (61-076,61-080)
• Donotusewithoutthebatteryandbattery
cover properly installed. (61-076,61-080)
• Donotattempttorepairthisunitasithasno
user-serviceable parts.
• Nevergroundyourselfwhentakingelectrical
measurements.
• Connecttheblackcommonleadtoground
or neutral before applying the red test lead to
potentialvoltage.Disconnecttheredtestlead
from the voltage first.
• Keepfingersbehindtheguardringsofthe
probe tips.
• Voltagesexceeding30VACor60VDCposea
shock hazard so use caution.
CAUTION
Toprotectyourself,think“SafetyFirst”:
• Complywithlocalandnationalsafetycodes.
• Useappropriatepersonalprotectiveequipment
such as face shields,
insulating gloves, insulating boots,
and/or insulating mats.
• Beforeeachuse:
- Perform a continuity test by touching the
test leads together to verify the functionality
of the battery and test leads.
- Usethe3PointSafetyMethod.(1)Verify
meter operation by measuring a known
voltage.(2)Applymetertocircuitundertest.
(3)Returntotheknownlivevoltageagainto
ensure proper operation.
• Alwaysworkwithapartner.
